Speculation on future gigs/tours

[Ben93]

I just remember in that and especially Resistance kind of almost feeling confused about what to do Had like 90 minutes of fairly lively songs and jumping round etc...then that

 

Starlight isnt so bad because at least there's the clapping and a bit of singing along (no matter how cheesy), the rest of the singles/regular songs i dont see anythign wrong with live

[Uccellino]

It didn't even make sense to play it though. It's flat and dull 99% of the time, it wasn't a successful single so casuals weren't desperate to hear it and it always kills the crowd's mood. Matt's logic really baffles me sometimes.

 

I think I might've preffered if they'd started the show with the general hits setlist and ended on the Origin stage and set.

 

It's the keytar innit! He loves showing it off

I thought they should maybe have played something like B&H/MotP instead of the resistance singles, still well known enough but so much better live

 

And i think they way they did it was better to be honest, Feeling Good/Megalomania isnt the greatest ending to a set, and even though its predictable that riff at the end of Knights is always amazing

[FabriPav]

For R/L, Megalomania could have worked as closer (with flames and shit)

They could have properly set the Reading stage on fire on the sunday night and left it at that

Yup, if they could've managed to really beef up that final organ note and had the fireworks go off at the same time it would've been amazing. The fireworks would've made more sense at the end of OOS as well, what with it being it's birthday.

OoS? 10 year anniversary?

 

LET'S CELEBRATE KOC!

[FabriPav]

Muse, you massive twats

[kueller]

Meglomania felt unnaturally weak in the 2011 return really. Organ could've been beefed up a bit and the last vocal part was just poor.

 

I can't imagine them finding any way to justify playing UD or GL next tour.

 

The frequency of GL last tour was pretty unjustifiable, so clearly that won't stop them.

They'd better not close off another tour with KoC

I don't know, when I was actually there it felt huge.

Vocals were still weak. And everything feels better when you're there.

 

Like I would know

 

[forevermusic]

I will be amazed if GL gets played on the next tour - partly because there'll most likely be something like it to replace it, but more likely because it's outlived the need for it to be played live.

 

Bit much Muse felt this way about MK Ultra and Unnatural Selection first.

[FabriPav]

Your expectations are so high

[kueller]

I still consider GL to be the Invincible of TR tour. Played a lot but dropped afterwards.

Overture too, parts 2 and 3 wil forever be unplayed, count on it.

Except invincible is the best song ever written

 

Ok I know it isn't but it is my personal favourite

[Seaking]

Ahh remember the days before we had to worry about what new shit song will replace Guiding Light which replaced Invincible.

 

Me neither.

[chudenk]

you can rest assured that what seems to be the popular opinion in this message board really does not translate to a live venue

people may not like guiding light (i dont care for it either but i dont waste my time dissing it) but no one really goes to a gig to boo songs. it may not receive as many cheers in the end, it's possible the public will be quieter for it than for other songs but honestly, in general no one is there dwelling on how shit a song is lol

 

i see you havent been to any muse gig yet so my advice to you - just GO and enjoy yourself no need to try to follow any 'trend' because you think it might make you a proper fan or something like that (plus you wont believe how many different 'types' of muse fans there are, this message board isnt really representative!), dont worry about people's complaints that some songs arent good live and that you wont enjoy them... this is all nitpicking. im sure you'll be blown away when you see them, they really ARE that good

 

+1

I kinda like Invincible live (Milan's performance was perfect) so I'm not bringing it on the same level as GL. But it was a very common song on that tour, played up to the very last gig at V Fest. After that though, it just left the setlists forever.

[Jobby]

I wouldn't mind Invincible coming back. I wonder why they decided to completely drop it in the first place, did Matt start becoming afraid he wouldn't be able to pull of the vocals on the last chorus?

 

But yeah, Guiding Light is gone. Not sure about UD, he did have a keytar made especially for it so it would be a waste to stop using it but there's no way the band could deny how dead the crowd became during it.

[FabriPav]

I'm still wondering for what Matt used the Kitara in studio, and most of all how he will play the Kitara stuff in a gig

[Clunge]

If Invincible comes back, I quit.

[Super Sammy!]

But Invincible is so fun James! I mean have you not seen the crowds booming with life during it?
